These old-fashioned lace cookies may look unassuming, but trust me when I tell you how incredibly addictive they are! Made primarily with melted butter, sugar, and vanilla, they flatten out in the oven and have a crisp candy-like texture. They’re as addictive as potato chips; it’s impossible to just eat one!

I just have a super short post today to tell you about these Lace Cookies that I made for Challenge Dairy! You’ll need to pop over to their website to grab the full recipe, but before you do I want to tell you how addictive these cookies actually are, despite their unassuming appearance.
I admit, they’re not much to look at. They’re totally flat, and when my little sister first saw them she was completely unimpressed and said it just looked like they’d melted. Everyone (except for my mom, who is familiar with Lace Cookies) thought they were actually baking fails. Until they tried them, that is.
Despite their humble appearance, these cookies are good. Their flat crisp texture reminds me of sweet addictive potato chips and neither Zach nor I could stop eating them.
When you’re baking with so few ingredients, you want to make sure that you are using quality ingredients. The butter is the key ingredient and the key flavor driver for these Lace Cookies, so I obviously recommend using Challenge Butter for this recipe for the best possible taste. Head over to their website for full instructions to make these Lace Cookies!

I thought I’d try these since might be a “lighter” cookie as opposed to the ones I have been making recently such as the peanut butter, oatmeal and chocolate chip ones. I’m reading they are supposed to be crispy and I am wondering if I did something wrong. I just tasted one and I definitely would not call it crispy. Still relatively chewy. I have another few batches to go in the oven, since I can’t put as many on a baking sheet as I normally would since they really do spread. I am hoping maybe just needs to cool some more and that as it cools it will firm up. I followed everything in the directions and I am definitely no baking slouch lol. I did notice there are a few that weren’t completely flat, one or two seems to have a lump in the center as though didn’t fully spread. I’m wondering if maybe I did a bigger scoop then what I had intended. I’m going to keep going to use up the batter and see how the rest turn out. I really wanted these to come out as I had hoped.

Hi Megan! They won’t be crispy until they have cooled completely, but if you are using larger scoops they will need a bit more time in the oven in order to cook properly and to be crisp when cooled. I hope you love them when all is finished! 🙂

Interesting, I’ve never heard of these. By the way, there is a typo in your instructions for step 8, “cookie shave” should probably be “cookies have”.

Yikes! Thanks, I will get that fixed!
